There’s just something magical about fall, isn’t there?
The cozy drinks. The crunch of leaves. The sweaters that feel like a hug. The return of boots, pumpkins, and all things warm and wonderful. At Lena Layne, we live for the little joys of autumn—and we think this season deserves to be celebrated to the fullest.
That’s why we’ve created the ultimate Fall Bucket List—filled with festive ideas, sweet traditions, and of course, the cutest outfits to go with every moment. Whether you’re a pumpkin spice lover or an autumn adventure seeker, this list is your ticket to soaking up everything fall has to offer.
Let’s throw on our favorite layers and dive in!
🍁 1. Visit a Pumpkin Patch (and Take All the Pictures)
Is it really fall if you haven’t picked the perfect pumpkin? Whether you’re there for carving, decorating, or just the photo ops, a pumpkin patch is a must.

🍂 2. Take a Scenic Fall Drive
Cue up your favorite cozy playlist, roll the windows down, and hit the backroads for a drive through the trees. Bonus points for snapping photos of the golden leaves!
Lena Layne Look: A comfy jumpsuit layered with a long cardigan and sneakers = cute, cozy, and road-trip ready.
☕ 3. Try Every Fall Drink at Your Local Coffee Shop
Make it a mission: taste-test every seasonal latte, chai, and cider your local spots have to offer. It’s like a flavor adventure—with whipped cream on top.
Lena Layne Look: A graphic sweatshirt + leggings + a cozy vest = effortlessly adorable for sipping something sweet.
🍎 4. Go Apple Picking (and Bake Something Delicious After)
There’s nothing more “fall” than strolling through an orchard with a basket of fresh-picked apples. And what comes after? Homemade pie, crisp, or caramel apples, of course!
Lena Layne Look: Keep it classic with a button-up flannel, a stretch denim skirt, and your favorite comfy boots.
🧣 5. Have a Backyard Bonfire Night
Invite your friends or family for s’mores, stories, and stargazing. Add cozy blankets, mugs of hot cocoa, and maybe a scary story or two.

Add some pumpkins, mums, lanterns, or a cute fall sign to give your home instant autumn charm. It’s a simple way to bring fall magic right to your doorstep.
Lena Layne Tip: Snap a pic in your fave Lena Layne outfit while decorating—it’s the ultimate “cozy-core” moment for the 'gram!
🍂 7. Host a Chili or Soup Night
Gather friends for a warm, comforting meal full of fall flavors. Bonus points if you have everyone bring a different soup and vote on a winner!
Lena Layne Look: A sweater dress with tall boots and a wide-brim hat = dressed up, but still comfy enough for second helpings.
📚 8. Read a Cozy Fall Book
Light a candle, brew some tea, and escape into a heartwarming (or spooky!) story. There’s no better season to get lost in a good book.
Lena Layne Look: A stretchy lounge set or waffle-knit top and joggers. Comfort = key.

The colors, the smells, the crisp breeze—nature truly shows off in the fall. Even a short walk can feel like a full-on autumn experience.
Lena Layne Look: Layer a lightweight pullover with high-rise leggings and trail-ready sneakers. Add a puffer vest for extra warmth and style.

Pumpkin muffins? Butternut squash soup? Maple pecan granola? Pick a new recipe and enjoy the flavors of the season in your own kitchen.
Lena Layne Tip: Tie your hair up in a cute claw clip, wear your Lena Layne apron, and bake with your favorite playlist on full blast.
🧡 11. Watch a Fall Movie Marathon
Grab the popcorn and queue up the classics—Hocus Pocus, You’ve Got Mail, Gilmore Girls, or anything with cozy vibes and crunchy leaves.
